Re: PESO Bee killers
Josten, Thanks for the links. A pollen mite could be it. The bee was moving slow and didn't want to fly (maybe dying) so I could observe the crowd. The mites sometimes moved around on his body and sometimes crowded his back, which is strange for a parasite. My vote goes to pollen mites. Toine 2009/9/13 AlunFoto alunf...@gmail.com: Very interesting pic, Toine. After 20 minutes of goofing around with google, I also vote against Varroa, based on general body shape. The mites (i'm pretty sure they're mites anyway) are longer than they are broad. The Varroa isn't, except for some very early development stages. Could it be that your mites are just associated with the bees rather than direct parasites? The closest match I could find was a pollen mite, hitching a ride with a Mason Bee. http://blueberrytalk.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/mason-bees-and-pollen-mites/ There's some more information on this mite here: http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/beemites/Species_Accounts/Melittiphis.htm On the same site there's also information about another scavenging mite that might inhabit honey bee colonies: http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/beemites/species_accounts/Pneumolaelaps.htm But I can't find any image of these relating the size to a bee, or even a bumblebee. :-( Jostein 2009/9/13 Toine to...@repiuk.nl: A bee unter attack from ugly parasites.
